About Casual Costumes

Casual costumes live and die on getting the details right, not the effort level. Annabeth Chase's orange camp shirt, Christopher Moltisanti's flat affect, Sally Albright's plain sweaters, the clothes are ordinary, the character is in how you wear them.

This is the cheapest category on the whole site to build. Most of it comes straight from your closet or a thrift rack, no specialty pieces required.
